Earlier today, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa received Dr. Denis Mukwege and Esther Dingemans, Director of the Dr. Denis Mukwege Foundation, for an audience at the palais grand-ducal. Dr. Mukwege is a Congolese gynecologist who specialises in the treatment of women who have been gang-raped or suffered other wartime sexual assault during the ongoing violent conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We have extensively written about Dr. Mukwege's very important work when he previously visited the Grand Duchy in October of last year. The cour also offers some additional information.
